Review by Kim

"Kepa was my son's special education teacher in elementary school. We were so impressed with Kepa's professionalism and he did a great job providing servic

es that were above and beyond the goals in my son's IEP. Once my son moved on to middle school, Kepa tutored him successfully in math and writing. Kepa is kind, creative, and fun and has a particular gift for meeting kids where they are. I've never met a kid (or adult) that didn't absolutely love Kepa!"

"I have been studied for Math with Kaiwei for one and half year. He is my favorite teacher ever. He is very knowledge and he is very concerned about studen

t's need and respect every question I ask. I was good for Reading and Writing section in SAT.Math is always my nightmare, But I cant avoid it if I wanna attend college. I am very lucky to know Kaiwei. Before I met him, I only got 480 for Math section. Half year later, I took SAT again, I got 650 in Math section. At the end, I finished SAT with a score of 760 in Math. He now continue to teach me AP Statistics and Calculus. BEST TUTOR!"

About Becky

Hi!

I'm a certified teacher and private tutor based in the St. Louis, MO area. I work one-to-one in a face-to-face format for students in the St. Louis, MO area and online one-to-one for students

outside St. Louis. My personal goal is to foster academic success in the student in your life. In addition, I strive to teach the necessary skills for every one of my students to become independent learners.

I first began tutoring music while in college and gradually shifted my focus to academic tutoring. I considered myself a teacher since my first part‑time job as a swim instructor.

From reading comprehension and algebra to study skills and English, my mission is to tutor students who have fallen through the cracks in our educational system. Meeting my clients’ specialized needs is an essential part of each lesson I create.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education (emphasis on reading and reading comprehension) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education. My teaching experience includes 32 years of tutoring, 10 years in the public school system teaching first grade, 10 years in both the public school system and private schools teaching music and 1 year at Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) teaching basic computer use.

About Justine

I have experience tutoring most school subjects ranging from 8th grade to early college. I work with students to find their unique learning style, discover strengths, and improve in other areas. Inste

ad of only working through problems, I develop study skills and organization skills with the students if needed. I have experience tutoring students with special needs as well.

Information:-Double majored in Forensic Science and Insect Science-Minored in Philosophy-I took the ACT twice and improved my score by 8 points. I excelled in the English and Reading portions of the exam.-I was homeschooled, so I enjoy and encourage learning outside of the traditional classroom. I read a lot of literature, and have taken a wide variety of classes.
